VGGFace2 is a large-scale face recognition dataset developed to support research on facial recognition across variations in pose, age, illumination, and identity. It consists of 3.31 million images covering 9,131 subjects, with an average of over 360 images per subject. The dataset was collected from Google Image Search, ensuring a wide diversity in ethnicity, profession, and real-world conditions. It is split into a training set with 8,631 identities and a test set with 500 identities, making it suitable for benchmarking and large-scale model training. Alongside the dataset, the repository provides pre-trained models based on ResNet-50 and SE-ResNet-50 architectures, trained with both MS-Celeb-1M pretraining and fine-tuning on VGGFace2. These models achieve strong verification performance on benchmarks such as IJB-B and include variants with lower-dimensional embeddings for compact feature representation. The project also includes preprocessing tools, face detection scripts, and etc.

The Stanford Machine Learning Course Exercises repository contains programming assignments from the well-known Stanford Machine Learning online course. It includes implementations of a variety of fundamental algorithms using Python and MATLAB/Octave. The repository covers a broad set of topics such as linear regression, logistic regression, neural networks, clustering, support vector machines, and recommender systems. Each folder corresponds to a specific algorithm or concept, making it easy for learners to navigate and practice. The exercises serve as practical, hands-on reinforcement of theoretical concepts taught in the course. This collection is valuable for students and practitioners who want to strengthen their skills in machine learning through coding exercises.

PROPER is a library of routines for the propagation of wavefronts through an optical system using Fourier-based methods. It was developed at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory for modeling stellar coronagraphs, but it can be applied to other optical systems were diffraction propagation is of concern. It is currently available for IDL (Interactive Data Language), Matlab and Python (3.x). It includes routines for generating complex apertures and obscurations and aberrations (Zernike & PSD-defined). It includes a model of a deformable mirror for wavefront control. The routines perform near and far field propagation with automatic selection of propagators. The latest version is v3.31 released on 12 Nov 2024. Please report any bugs using the Tickets tab.

Gene-Environment iNteraction Simulator 2 (GENS2) simulates interactions among two genetic and one environmental factor and also allows for epistatic interactions. GENS2 is based on data with realistic patterns of linkage disequilibrium, and imposes no limitations either on the number of individuals to be simulated or on number of non-predisposing genetic/environmental factors to be considered. The GENS2 tool is able to simulate gene-environment and gene-gene interactions. To make the Simulator more intuitive, the input parameters are expressed as standard epidemiological quantities. GENS2 is written in Python language and takes advantage of operators and modules provided by the simuPOP simulation environment. It can be used through a graphical or a command-line interface.

This package lets Python users interface and communicate with MATLAB from Python. Pymatlab makes it easier for users to integrate a project with a large MATLAB codebase into python scripts by using MATLAB scripts as a part of the python program. The basic functionality of this package is to send data from Python to MATLAB's workspace to be able to run Matlab function on the data. After processing you retrieve back data to python. This enables you to process data with Mathlab's built in functions, toolboxes or Matlab-scripts. It is also possible to use MATLAB's to generate plots or other graphics. The package uses Numpy's ndarrays and translates them into MATLAB's mxarrays using Python's ctypes and Matlab's mx library. The interface to MATLAB's workspace in done through MATLAB's engine library.

WavePacket is a program package for numerical quantum-mechanics of distinguishable particles. It can be used to solve single or coupled time-independent or time-dependent (linear) Schrödinger and Liouville-von Neumann-equations, as well as classical or quantum-classical Liouville equations. Optionally accounting for the interaction with external electric fields within the semiclassical dipole approximation, WavePacket can be used to simulate modern experiments involving ultrashort light pulses in photo-induced physics or chemistry, including quantum optimal control. With its visualization of quantum dynamics generated 'on the fly', WavePacket is suitable for teaching quantum mechanics as well as for research projects, see also the numerous demonstration examples . While the Matlab/Octave version is already in a mature state, the C++/Python version is still under construction. Using tensor train techniques, the additional WaveTrain package aims at beating the curse of dimensionality.
